Lots of good bands mentioned so far and a few I've not even heard of (Jimbo/Ali), but the only correlation seems to be that most Rebel fans were also into Bowie. I must admit the early stuff (Space Oddity, Man who sold the World, Ziggy Stardust, Hunky Dory, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs) were almost on a par with SH and CR (almost but not quite). The 70's were a great time to be a teenager (music wise), with not only the aforementioned, but also the glam rock, 'super' groups, and later punk. Although was never an actual punk - I loved the music and had the pleasure of seeing most of the mainstream bands at the time. In fact, reviewing my list, I've just realised that I have seen all the bands mentioned - all great (especially CR), but the one that sticks out was probably Greenday - absolutely rocking!
